Explorations in Africa

Mehr zum Buch

This book recounts two of the most famous expeditions in the history of African exploration: David Livingstone's search for the source of the Nile and Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to find Livingstone. Spanning the mid-19th century, these expeditions transformed Western knowledge of the African continent and opened the way for further exploration, colonization, and trade. With vivid descriptions of the African landscapes, cultures, and peoples encountered on these journeys and detailed accounts of the adventurers' trials and tribulations, this book remains a classic of exploration literature.
